First thing in the morning, listening to the news. Well, this morning's news was a little bit unexpected, a plane crashed in Spain, reminded me the horrendous Tenerife accident in 1977. Anyway, what really annoyed me was they said there 'might' be small hails late today.
What I learned from the hail storm on 28 Feb 2007 was, never park my car in an open car park if there will be hails coming. Luckily my wife is taking today off, so she dropped me and my bike in Civic and I rode to work from there. Went to Civic during lunch time to pick up some cycling gear, and went to ANU for a couple of hours after work. Rode home at about 7:15pm and arrived at 8.
The 16km trip took me 48 minutes, caught up on Gungahlin drive thanks to the stupid bike lane that goes up and down. Only averaged 19.9km/h, topped at 39km/h. First time to ride home, hope next time I can beat 40 minutes.
